Finding Orientation in the Face of Fear: A Prayer for Boston

[chronarchy]

There is not much that is difficult about being a Priest: most of the time, it's a bit of studying, or a baby blessing, or a wedding. It's mostly things that bring you joy and memories you treasure

I know what you mean. You saw the same clips, read the same news as everyone else, and are still processing what has transpired. Yet, the weight falls on your shoulders to be the compass that points North (ha, to the bear no less), a voice of reason and direction amidst the storm of your own feelings of confusion. Finding the calm, the balance, the center is the strength of the priest and it's often through fire that one learns how to do it. This entry, however, is testament to your ability. I think you did very well and quite exemplify the priesthood one hopes the ADF is aspiring to. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

Prayer does help with re-centering, I find. I've bookmarked this for future use; thank you for sharing it.
